Chapter 12

Jinx's Dream

Everything around me was pitch black and anywhere I turned the black stretched on. It was inescapable. In the distance I could hear my family yelling at me. No matter how far or as fast as I ran I couldn't reach them. Their voices reached a climax of panic and try as hard as I could.. I couldn't reach them before the sound of a car crash sent the dark into silence once more. I collapsed to my knees and sobbed.

As I cried I failed to notice the scenery around me change to that of a dense forest with me in the only clearing within the trees. When my hysteria settled down  I sensed I was being watched and my head snapped up. My gaze met that of the guy I saw at the party. He was watching me with that very same amused smirk he had then. I stood up quickly and instead of running, which every instinct in my body wanted to do, I walked over to him.

When I got close enough I slapped him across the face. He didn't even budge. He just continued staring at me unaffected.

"How is your temporary family treating you?" His voice sent shivers down my spine in not an entirely unpleasant way.

"How do you know about that?" I glared at him but was distracted when all of a sudden he was in front of me holding my hair from my neck. I found myself unable to move due to his sudden proximity. I only found enough strength to turn my head from his chest and turn my gaze to his right arm. That's when I really felt my breath catch in my throat. The tattoo on his arm matched mine. Exactly.

"Your Mark developed nicely." He backed up only one step and nodded in approval.

"You.... You did this."

"What the tattoo?" He feigned innocence. As if he thought that was all I was referring to.

"No. You did ALL this!," My voice got louder and stronger,"You killed my family...." then to a whisper at this final statement.

"---They were in the way."

"You got them to adopt me!"

"I needed you somewhere I knew I could retrieve you from."

"Why?" My voice broke at this last part and I felt just.... Very tired. Exhausted from the turns of events that has been my life.

"Because. I have chosen you. Amongst all the possible girls in the whole world. I chose you. You caught my interest. You were the only one who was unpredictable to me. You stood out."

Okay so I couldn't exactly help but feel the impact of the words he was speaking. Had he really been through almost every girl in the world? Was I really the one he had chosen? Whatever that meant anyways. I couldn't help but feel flattered. But under all that I was appalled too. Why was I so special. No. What made him so special that he could take my life from me?

"Chosen me for what?" My voice was hushed.

"I cant tell you that just yet."

"Fine," I spoke stubbornly, "Then I guess I'm not helping you with...whatever."

He started laughing and I just stood there caught off guard. Was he not taking me seriously? I hate when people do that. In anger I turned quickly around and began walking away. I gasped when he spun me around harshly by my arm and turned my face to his so that we were mere inches apart.

"You don't really have a choice. You are under my control now. You. Are. Mine."

His words chilled me to my very core then a fire sparked in my stomach and a blush ran to my cheeks. His words scared me yet at the same time drew me to him. I felt a connection to him. I didn't notice I had started leaning towards him until he smirked and quickly let go of me and stepped away causing me to stumble.

"You feel the connection as well. By the way. My name is Kaeston."

As I woke up words lingered in my head.

"See you soon. Don't get too close to that boy."
